Val Cliburn

This album follows Zala Kravos’ first album, recorded in 2017. This new project is based on the long-term collaboration between Zala Kravos and her brother Val as a piano duet. Since their youngest age, both pianists regularly perform together, also on the international scale. This album features a wide range of repertoires that reveal the technical and performing qualities of the duo, notably through Schubert’s Fantasia in F Minor, considered as a monument in the field of four-hands piano repertoire.

Un'opera singolare, espressione dell'infinita fantasia dell'autore, corredata da bellissime immagini a colori e con prefazione di Intro Montanelli e postfazione di Lorenzo Viganò. Ultimo libro pubblicato da Buzzati in vita, "I miracoli di Val Morel" coniuga le due passioni di Buzzati, la scrittura e la pittura, ed è una sorta di repertorio immaginario di ex-voto dedicati a santa Rita da Cascia nella località di Val Morel, in provincia di Belluno, tutti dipinti dall'autore stesso e raccolti nel volume insieme al racconto delle peripezie dell'autore per trovare il fantomatico santuario di santa Rita che si rivelerà infine essere un semplice masso, sul quale i devoti affiggono gli ex-voto.

An einem Dezembertag des Jahres 1963 kehrt die 13-jährige Alison Carter von einem Spaziergang mit ihrem Hund nicht mehr in ihr Dorf zurück. Ein junger und ehrgeiziger Inspektor übernimmt den Fall, und es scheint, als enthielten ihm die Bewohner des abgeschiedenen Ortes wichtige Informationen vor. Bald jedoch tauchen erste Indizien für ein grauenvolles Verbrechen auf… Hannelore Hoger und Val McDermid bilden ein perfektes Team: Die Sorgfalt, mit der Val McDermid das Grauen heraufbeschwört, wird durch Hannelore Hogers scheinbar ruhigen Vortrag zu einer Spannung geführt, die atemlos macht.

The Three Graces of Val-Kill changes the way we think about Eleanor Roosevelt. Emily Wilson examines what she calls the most formative period in Roosevelt's life, from 1922 to 1936, when she cultivated an intimate friendship with Marion Dickerman and Nancy Cook, who helped her build a cottage on the Val-Kill Creek in Hyde Park on the Roosevelt family land.

In the early years, the three women–the "three graces," as Franklin Delano Roosevelt called them–were nearly inseparable and forged a female-centered community for each other, for family, and for New York's progressive women.
